any help appreciated,z32 92 import;intermittent fault. o.k for few days then bad for a few.over idles hot/cold to about 2000rpm.uses more juice than normal also.when this happens i get a loud clicking/ticking from a small unit under bonnet-drivers side by brake servo.this unit has a few air pipes to/from it plus electrical connection.1 of the pipes ends up at another unit bolted to engine side(also drivers side).

as i say its not all the time but when it plays up there is a noticable difference in how she runs,and most annoying to say the least.

she is a 1992 z32 import non-turbo,love the car so could do with any ideas on what could cause this.

 

thanks,,chumley. :headvswal

:) get the car on a conzult mate and get the o2 sensors checked,common problem is poor running poor idle and if your using more fuel than normal it would point to o2 sensors are lazy,clean temp sensor on the front metal pipe to radiator

 

we have a free car check at ztech in swindon check traders forum and look in z-tech if its not to far for you your welcome to put your name down :)
